A camshaft sensor can fail due to various factors, including exposure to extreme heat, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits or corrosion. Additionally, oil leaks can damage the sensor or its connections, leading to malfunction. Faulty wiring or poor connections can also contribute to sensor failure. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify potential issues before they lead to sensor failure.
